These are both 50x52, perfect for a lap in a wheelchair, or just a nice lap quilt.

That's the same organization I'm sending mine to, then they send them to the individuals. I'm sorry your husband is affected by ALS. I made two quilts last year as well.

Great Job. Love the colors in the DP9

Grat quiltin! I know they are going to love them!

Ngeorgia 06-13-2011 09:44 AM

I lot of the ones they brought to chose from were "girly" so making them male friendly or gender neutral is a good idea. The one I got was a pink db wedding ring but a brown on the back.

That is so wonderful of you. My mom had ALS which finally took her from us. It is a horrible thing to watch someone you love go from a fun loving get up and go woman to a horrible shrew in such a short time. I always think of my mom as teaching us how to dance or skate or picking fruit in the summer. She was a hell of a woman. I miss her very much.
